D.gnu - Any plans for GDC to get DMD's -i option?

Hello GDC folks, I am using GDC 12.1.0 and not finding any equivalent to DMD's "-i" option, which causes DMD to automatically find and compile imported modules. (There's "-I" but that does something rather different.) I've looked in "gdc --help=d" and "man gdc" to no avail, and looked through the latest gdmd (from https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDMD) but it does not appear to support -i. Does anyone know if this functionality will be available in the next version of GDC? If it's going to materialize in the next year or so I can tough it out, but if it's not I'm inclined to write a wrapper.

Maybe one of the `-M` family switches can be used to emulate the -i behavior: ``` `-M' Output the module dependencies of all source files being compiled in a format suitable for `make'. The compiler outputs one `make' rule containing the object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of all imported files. `-MM' Like `-M' but does not mention imported modules from the D standard library package directories. `-MF FILE' When used with `-M' or `-MM', specifies a FILE to write the dependencies to. When used with the driver options `-MD' or `-MMD', `-MF' overrides the default dependency output file. ```

IMO dub should more than capable of doing this instead.
